Team Leads: Matt D. & Zach G.
Prototyping 1/5/2020-1/11/2020
Overview: Based on initial team brainstorming and sketching, as well as theinformation from Strategy Subteam, we determined to prototype:
- A helix
- A drum
- A brush conveyor
This decision was based in part on available people to work on it, as well as those designs that seemd most favorable based on early sketches and legacy research (balls are squishy and can get stuck and jammed easily).
Observations: We observed the following over the course of prototyping:
- Helix:
- Super fast!
- We used a central agitator with zip ties (although we hope to test brushes as soon as we have some suitable ones).
- We tested it with a horizontal intake and exit - it worked very well
Decision:
- Helix is our preferred choice at this time:
- Relatively small volume in the robot
- Allows for exit to the shooter to be directly above the entrance from the intake for a compact layout
- Uses one moter for the central agitator.
- Super Fast!
Need to do:
- Test with a vertical exit (and entrance) or a 90 degree transition
Design
